The folly which we might have ourselves committed is the one which we are least ready to pardon in another. - Joseph Roux

The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable.

A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.

We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence.
